Ariel is the best to work with! She is the absolute sweetest and has the best eye for what she does! She made sure to get to know us and what we really wanted. We had such a fun time shooting our engagement pics with her and were so happy to have her at our wedding too!

Ariel's professionalism, artistry, and flexibility are unbeatable, especially during a time of lots of change. My husband and I hired her for a big wedding in Hendersonville, NC in October. Once we realized that we'd need to scale down due to COVID, we decided to have a fun, family only event. Ariel went above and beyond to work with us to ensure that our needs were met and drove down from NC to our home in ATL to document our special day, which happened to be on a holiday. She beautifully captured the joy of the day, coaching us during our couple shots to really feel comfortable with her presence. She felt like another member of the family. Our portfolio captured who we are as individuals, a couple, and a family, and we couldn't be happier with the colorful, natural photos we received. Hire her!

We are beyond thrilled with our images from AMW photography! As a wedding photographer myself, it was tricky to find the perfect photographer for our day. But from the first phone call with Ariel I felt at ease talking with her. She listened to all our quirky wedding ideas and got excited about them with us. Her eye for composition and light is absolutely beautiful. She captured our amazing engagement photographs in the mountains and created gorgeous images on our wedding day. One of our favorite engagement photo comments was "y'all look like you're on the cover of a romance novel!" She's that good.

Ariel was also sweet, calm, and a joy to work with. I highly recommend AMW photography to anyone looking for a photographer!

We had the most incredible wedding in August and the one thing that continually stands out is how amazing Ariel was as a person and as a photographer.

One comment that we still keep hearing from our friends and family, is how our pictures did not just capture the important memories but the emotion and mood of the whole evening. She really has a gift.

My now father in law was so impressed with how one photographer was so subtle in her presence and yet captured such detail and depth in her pictures. We often find ourselves looking at the photos and every time feel we are back in that moment. They are truly brilliant.

When you look back on your wedding day, there are many things you reflect upon and could possibly do different. This is the one thing we would never change.

We couldn’t recommend Ariel enough

Ariel Is beyond outstanding. Her photos are literally flawless, gorgeous, and captured the very essence of us as a couple and the spectacular outdoor venue where we got married. She works incredibly well with all ages (aka herding cats) and I worried about nothing. I would work with her a million times over in the future.

I cannot say enough about Ariel and Matt. Ever since they met us a few months before our wedding for our engagement shoot, they put us at ease in front of the camera. Finding a photographer was probably one of the tougher parts of wedding planning. After talking to Ariel on the phone, I just knew she would be perfect. They captured SO many beautiful moments at our wedding many of which I didn’t even notice the day of. They turned a day full of bad weather into some gorgeous photos. You can definitely tell they are a husband/wife team because they worked seamlessly with each other. We received SO many compliments not just about the pictures… but how fantastic they were to be around! I wouldn’t even think twice about hiring AMW again or recommending to friends!

A close family friend recommended Matt and Ariel of AMW Studios to us. Beginning with our first interactions with them, through email and Skype, we were impressed with their professionalism, patience, and overall friendliness. We quickly realized, without hesitation, that they were perfect for the job and there was no need to look any further.

We booked AMW Studios nearly 12 months in advance but remained in close contact with them throughout the wedding planning process. Matt and Ariel took time out of their busy schedules to meet with us on several occasions to discuss the wedding details and to get to know us on a more personal level. They made each planning session and the wedding day itself feel as though we were hanging out with long time friends. They were caring and attentive. They made us smile, laugh, and feel relaxed, which was clearly portrayed in all of our pictures.

When choosing our wedding photographer, it was most important for us to find someone who was creative and able to capture our love, excitement, and joy. We wanted someone who blended in with our guests. We wanted someone who would capture the true, raw moment rather than interrupt the natural flow of the day and force people to pose for still shots. We wanted someone who used creativity to produce unique images that would accurately tell our love story. Matt and Ariel did all of this and more. Our pictures are absolutely beautiful. They are more than we ever imagined and will help us relieve our special days for years to come. Matt and Ariel are truly incredible people and photographers. Without any hesitation, I would recommend Matt and Ariel to anyone.

We really really enjoyed Ariel and Matt, fantastic photographers and all around fun people too. They went above and beyond and the only limit was what we were willing to do (get in a stream for a shot? sure! Go to the top of a mountain? Absolutely!)

And beyond just the willingness for the shots, the pictures came out beautifully! They both have quite an eye and impeccable timing. I was dancing and totally forgot they were there, and yet they were right where the fun stuff was happening, the candid shots came out looking very natural.

They captured the memories perfectly and I will enjoy looking back at these pictures for the rest of my life!

Ariel and Matt were absolutely incredible! We wish we had more events to be photographed just to spend some more time with them :). They did a beautiful job with all of our photos and accommodated all of our requests. We did our engagement pictures, rehearsal dinner, a bridal party field day, and wedding pictures with them. Up next: trash the dress!! Everyone in the wedding party had a great time with them there and we can't wait to see the rest of our pics!

I am so happy we chose Matt and Ariel to photograph our wedding. They made us feel incredibly comfortable in front of the camera for both our engagement session and our wedding. You can tell they both love what they do and it shows in the pictures. AMW was very easy to work with throughout the planning process, and they made sure that all of the important moments were captured on our wedding day. I would definitely recommend AMW.
